Eyes in the Skies

I was walking back happily to my hostel. I walk through the green space that resembles a small forest between the metro station and the main IUT building. I looked around and I saw no one. Ok, this is it, I've been holding it for hours. So i did what i had to do. I dug my nose. 30 minutes later, while surfing the net happily at home, i received an email warning me not to dig my nose anymore in public places. It's disgusting. And the email said, if ever i dig my nose again, they'll send to everyone i know a copy of the picture that they've taken by satellite that shows me digging my nose passionately.

The story above, however funny and shocking it may be, is NOT true. I don't dig my nose in public. And didn't receive any email.

What I was trying to say is, we have certainly lost our privacy in this fast growing digital age. Have you heard of Google Earth? It's a software that you can download for free from google, that actually shows you satellite images of the earth surface, and in some places with a very precise detail. I mean, for someone who's ignorant, like you, who just found out that such software exists, for instance, this is something cool. I mean you can actually see how your house looks like from space. That's the problem. Someone, can see, observe, study, spy on your house without even you knowing about it. With the free Google Earth, you can actually get images with the visibility upto thousand feet above sea level. If you purchase the software, you can get a better visibility upto afew hundred feet. But that's what's offered to the public. We do not know how detail are the images that were not offered to the public. I've even heard that the maximum is 2 meters above sea level. That means the guy who controls the satellite can, probably, see if i got dandruffs or not. So that's why i gave the digging one's nose example earlier. So remember, if you really want to dig your nose, even if there's no one around, Big Brother is watching you from the skies.


I got back my maths paper today. Not bad. I think i got the highest in my class. 13/20. And i got full marks for the last question. Translate terms in French into English and vice versa. And remember the guy who said that i actually used cable to get into IUT? He actually asked me today if i could help him in maths. And the other day he already asked me to help him in Accounts. Me, being a person who hates berdendam (ye ke?) told him "yeah, ok". And just like i told you in my previous post, the Frenchies have a really big problem when it comes to English. I really had a good laugh looking at their answers for the last question. Oh I'm so mean.
